Configuring IPv6

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol (IP) intended

to succeed Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). Configuring WAN properties for an

IPv6 network depends on the type of internet connection that you have.

Configuring the IPV6 WAN Connection

You can configure the Cisco RV215W to be a DHCPv6 client of the ISP for this

WAN or to use a static IPv6 address provided by the ISP.

To configure IPv6 WAN settings on your Cisco RV215W, you must first set the IP

mode to one of the following modes:

• LAN:IPv6, WAN:IPv6

• LAN:IPv4+IPv6, WAN:IPv4

• LAN:IPv4+IPv6, WAN:IPv4+IPv6

See Configuring the IP Mode for instructions on how to set the IP mode.

Configuring DHCPv6

If your ISP provides you with a dynamically-assigned address, configure the

Cisco RV215W to use be a DHCPv6 client.

To configure the Cisco RV215W to be a DHCPv6 client:

STEP 1 Choose Networking > IPv6 > IPv6 WAN Configuration.

STEP 2 In the WAN Connection Type field, select Automatic Configuration-DHCPv6.

STEP 3 Click Save.
